How To Delete Network Shared Printer As Current User Using PSADT

I have the following code in my PSADT to remove a printer that has been added via a print server. As we use PSADT and deploy via SCCM, it uses a system account and as a result the system account cannot see the network printer in order to delete it. I therefore need to amend the following code so that powershell can run this line of code only as the currently logged on user.

Remove-Printer -Name "\server-address\Label Printer - No10 - 3rd Floor"

I tried the following but to no avail

Execute-ProcessAsUser Remove-Printer -Name "\server-address\Label Printer - No10 - 3rd Floor"

Thanks
